(International Knowledge Press, 2017-03) Akinyede, Oyinlola
The pattern of growth of International Trade and Bilateral Trade among West African Countires has again brought to light the need for a common currency aimed at financial integration of the ECOWAS community. In this light, this study adopts the explanatory survey design and uses the questionnaire as a primary research instrument to solicit responses from experts in monetary policy, foreign exchange and international business with a view to examine and analyze the potential impact of the proposed ECO currency on Bilateral trade among the ECOWAS members. Data was analysed using the simple linear regression to determine the relationship between the dependent (bilateral trade) and the independent variable (monetary union). Findings from the study indicate there is a positive linear relationship between bilateral trade and monetary union; consistent with Akinyede (2014). The relationship is moderate and significant at 5% level of significance (pvalue =.001 < alpha value =.05). Therefore, we conclude that the development of monetary union has significant impact on bilateral trade in ECOWAS.

(Banks and Bank Systems, 2023) Akinyede, Oyinlola
In a global pandemic, there is a need for banks to improve service delivery through financial technologies. Since the fight against COVID-19 is the community responsibility, the role of banks in channeling cash to all stakeholders is essential for the con temporary human race. This study investigated the impact of the government response to COVID-19 on the resilience of banks. A multivariate Structural Equation Model (SEM) was used to specify the links between the exogenous factors (government’s social and financial responses) and the endogenous variables (resilience of bank customers, employees and investors). A research survey approach was used where 543 respondents were sampled. A self-constructed online questionnaire was used to harvest responses from customers, employees and investors of the selected banks. The result of the analysis showed a significant relationship between government’s social response and the resilience of bank customers. However, such a relationship does not hold between government’s social responses and other resilience indicators (employees and investors). Furthermore, the result revealed that government’s financial responses do not affect the resilience of banks. The study concluded that the government’s social response during the COVID-19 pandemic influenced bank customers’ resilience in Nigeria. It was recommended that banks, as part of the policy, develop tools to complement government actions during the pandemic, thereby ameliorating its impact on their customers.

(Innovations, 2022) Akinyede, Oyinlola
Citizen welfare synonymous with state welfare provides stability and comfort in a country's social-economic index. This study used Nigerian citizens' economic and social factors as its foundation to analyse the impact of tax income on Nigerians. Secondary Data was sourced from relevant sources. Total tax revenue TAX is the independent variable. At the same time, citizen welfare is proxied by consumer prices (CON) and Unemployment (EMP) for economic welfare and health (HEA) and Education (EDU) for social welfare. In addition, there is a substantial correlation between tax income.The result demonstrates a significant correlation between tax revenue and the unemployment rate (0.000) and between tax revenue and government spending on education (0.00). In addition, there is a substantial correlation between tax and government spending on health (GSH) in Nigeria, with a significant rate of 0.012 and a significant association between tax and inflation (CPI).The study suggests the Nigerian government invest more in the economic and social wellbeing of its residents because improved citizen welfare directly affects taxes, which has a direct impact on the development

(2021) Akinyede, Oyinlola
The study empirically investigated the effect of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak on the performance and effectiveness of the Nigerian money market, capital market, and foreign exchange market. The study used time-series data for 120 working days after the first COVID-19 confirmed case in Nigeria and used both exploratory and multiple regression analysis to evaluate the effect of COVID-19 outbreak on the Nigerian financial market. Open buy back rate (OBRR), All Share Index Volume (ASIV) and Parallel Foreign Exchange Rate (PFXR) were used as variables for money market, capital market and foreign exchange market, respectively. The data representing these variables were subjected to econometric analysis, including the ADF-Fisher unit root test, Johansen co-integration test and Ordinary Least squares (OLS) regression technique. Results from the analysis show that the number of COVID-19 cases is inversely related to the interbank money market rate and the All Share Index Volume of the capital market but directly related to the foreign exchange rate. The study concludes that COVID-19 pandemic significantly affects the Nigerian financial market. Therefore, it was recommended that the government should take preventive steps against financial challenges resulting from health risk in order to ensure stability in the financial market. In addition, business owners should provide motivations that will allow their staff to work remotely, wherever they are. Furthermore, the government should, by way of policies, encourage domestic production of goods and services.

(Archives of Business Research, 2022) Akinyede, Oyinlola
The study was carried out to find out the relationship between economic crisis and personal financing among Nigerian workers. The research work made use of both primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected through questionnaires and secondary data sourced from the Central Bank Annual Reports and Bureau of Statistics. Multivariate analysis was applied to determine the relationship between Economic crisis (proxied by inflation, exchange rate, unemployment and cost of living) and personal financing (proxied by spending, tax, savings and investment). Results from the analysis showed a significant positive relationship between economic crisis and personal savings of Nigerian workers. The results showed further that both workers' personal spending and taxes have a positive relationship with the economic crisis in Nigeria, and their relationships are statistically significant at a 5% significance level. It means all the proxied economic crisis variables jointly affect Nigerian workers' personal savings, spending and personal taxes. However, economic crisis had no significant effect on the investment of Nigerian workers. Economic crisis does not influence how Nigerian workers invest their meagre income. Therefore, the economic drivers (governments) are advised to pay more attention to tackling the problems of the high exchange rate, inflation rate, and unemployment rate bedeviling the country to reduce the overall cost of living in Nigeria.

(Hallmark University Journal of Management and Social Sciences (HUJMSS), 2019) Akinyede, Oyinlola
There has been ongoing debate on the role of CSR in organizational activities. However, there is lack of consensus on the usefulness of CSR among privately-owned establishments. This study examines the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on accounting conservatism in the Nigerian banking sector. The study employed the quantitative research design, precisely the experimental research design. The major findings of the study revealed that CSR captured as societal expenditure, employee relations expenditure and environmental management expenditure had positive but negligible impact on accounting conservatism in selected deposit money banks in Nigeria. A million naira increase in societal expenditure, employees relation and environmental management expenditure would increase conservatism approximately by 0.01%, 1.1% and 0.04% respectively. To this end, the study concludes that although corporate social responsibility promotes conservatism in the Nigerian banking sector, it’s impact is not robust

(European Journal of Applied Sciences, 2022) Akinyede, Oyinlola
This study assessed the effectiveness of economic policies (monetary and fiscal policies) in fighting Nigeria's Inflation. Secondary data obtained over thirty-eight years (1981-2018) from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)'s statistical bulletins were used. The econometric test was carried out on the data, which included the ADF-Fisher unit root test and the Johansen co-integration test. A Vector Autoregressive model was used to specify the relationship between the independent variables (Interest rate, Money supply and Liquidity ratio) and the dependent variable (Inflation rate), through the least squares technique. The result revealed that money supply and lending rate have direct and significant influence on inflation (p-values<0.05). However, external debt and government expenditure do not significantly influence inflation. The study concluded that monetary policy is more effective than fiscal policy in combating inflation. Therefore, it was recommended that financial institutions in Nigeria should comply with specified prudential guidelines on monetary policy implementations. Furthermore, the Central Bank of Nigeria should be allowed to carry out her functions without pressure or hinderance from any arm of government.
An Empirical Analysis of Ecowas Labour Mobility and its Effect on the Regional Economy
(2018) Akinyede, Oyinlola
This study empirically investigate ECOWAS labour mobility and its effect on regional economy on a cross sectional analysis. Seven countries of the ECOWAS regional data were analyzed on a multiple regression analysis from 1991-2015 (25years). It was deduced that net migration has not accounted appropriately for labour mobility when subjected to an appropriate test on gross net income. One percent increase on average of net migration (NM) will lead to about 0.34 percent increase on gross national income. However, the positive coefficient of unemployment of 0.72 shows that, as labour mobility tend to stretch out from the ECOWAS region unemployment tends to decline on arithmetic progression which positively affect gross net income (GNI). The coefficient shows that about 73 percent of the total variations are explained by the independent variables. Consequently the study recommends that ECOWAS mobility should be frequently checked by Government to enhance growth within ECOWAS regions.

(Academic Research Publishing Group, 2017) Akinyede, Oyinlola
The study tried to examine the effect of environmental forces on foreign exchange market in Nigeria. The PEST- Political variables such as change in government (CIG) and democratic rule (DMR); Economical variables such as interest rate spread (IRS) and inflation in consumer prices (ICP); Social variable like population growth (PGR); and Technological variables such as fuel exports in merchandise (FEM) and technology export (TEX) were used to evaluate the impact these environmental factors have on foreign exchange market (official exchange rate). This study employed a time series data with the time frame 1973-2015. A multiple regression model was developed and analyzed using the ordinary least square method (OLS) with the help of E-views, a statistical package. The result showed that in isolation, IRS, FEM and DMR significantly influenced dealing rates in the Nigerian foreign exchange market while ICP, CIG, PGR, and TEX did not show any significant influence on foreign exchange market in Nigeria. However, the overall result showed a significant positive relationship between the environmental forces and the foreign exchange market in Nigeria with a p -value of 0.000000. We therefore concluded that environmental factors have significant influence on the Nigerian Foreign Exchange market. Hence, we recommended that relevant stake holders should pay proper attention to those environmental factors with significant impact on our Foreign Exchange Market in Nigeria.
